Janelle Monáe's 'The Age of Pleasure' Features Contributions from Legends and Embraces Sensuality

Janelle Monáe's new album, The Age of Pleasure, presents a vision of sensuality that is open to complication but goes down easy.
The album features contributions from Grace Jones, Sister Nancy, Amaarae, Doechii, Nia Long, Ckay, and Seun Kuti and Egypt 80
The album reflects Monáe's recent efforts to reorient her world around pleasure and enjoy herself.
Monáe will embark on a 26-city tour starting on August 30th and ending on October 18th
The album is grounded in the complex yet accessible rhythms of Afrobeats, with lyrics that celebrate same-sex encounters and polyamory.
